Welcome back @Carlos Olivares (NS DevTools PM). A question that's come up a few times is the status of VSCode extension?

We are getting closer on VsCode, the first version is almost done from implementation point of view. As soon as we get all remaining approvals, I will share the news here.

If I had to choose two options, I'd definitely prefer Webstorm+VSCode over webstorm+eclipse

It’s too bad that a WebStorm plug-in does not work out of the box with IntelliJ. I don’t know much about their plug-in architecture, but it’s silly that they aren’t upwards compatible. IntelliJ is supposed to be JetBrain’s ultimate IDE. But, I also would much prefer VS Code to Eclipse for support of a free and widely adopted editor. Eclipse has always had terrible JavaScript support.

@scottvonduhn the plugin for webstorm is being used by some users on idea. It should work if you have a paid version. We don't test it on intellij but should work. What are the problems you are having on intelliJ idea?

I think you guys mean IDEA?

Yes, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. Around our office, we just call it IntelliJ, since it’s the only version we use
I’ll try it again, but last time I tried, some of the menu options were not working

That's like calling Visual Studio, "Microsoft" 🙂

support for idea has improved, the only thing missing i really notice is creating new projects
webstorm looks like
while idea looks like
i end up using the cli to create the project and then open it using idea
end result being that i dont have a src folder as my topmost directory, partly because the cli doesnt set it up that way, and partly because i dont like it enough to set it up myself

Supporting other IDEs within Jetbrains for the plugin is literally a config option in your plugin.

Is there a technical reason the plugin doesn't work with the Community edition of IDEA?
It seems prudent to have IDEA Community supported since that's the improved equivalent of the current Eclipse+plugin scenario
(i.e. FREE IDE)

You can install it also in community edition. As far as i know the community edition doesn't support JavaScript. So there is no suitescript functionality (autocompletion). But you can still deploy projects etc
